Welcome to Face to Face, an open-world roleplay set in the Hamptons, New York.

From sprawling waterfront estates and exclusive country clubs to crowded beaches, nightlife, private schools, and neighborhood hangouts, there's always something happening.

Build your own character, meet people, explore relationships, pursue ambitions, make questionable decisions, or just enjoy everyday life. Everyone has their own personality, history, responsibilities, and relationships. Friendships can form, romance can happen, rivalries can develop, and sometimes absolutely nothing goes according to plan.

There's no assigned love interest, predetermined storyline, or perfect outcome. Live however you want, and see where life takes you.

(I do have small personal cannon.)
